Hi Dave,
Based on my requirements (leverage the existing Struts2 client-side
validation framework),
I'm not sure modifying the templates will work here.
It appears that when validate="true" I need a way to tell Struts2 validation
framework to not
populate the onsubmit attribute. But I still want it to generate the
appropriate javascript based
on the field validations I have defined for the action. This way I could use
my own onsubmit handler
to call the auto-generated javascript method (validatForm_MyAction()) at the
appropriate time.
Reviewing the existing template files didn't reveal that this was possible
by overriding a template.
Maybe I missed something.

Subject: Re: additional onsubmit javascript validation
I modified the templates to allow pages to inject their own validation
messages. Unfortunately I never checked this in. You could do it with a
JavaScript framework, though, through binding.

Greetings,
I'm using Struts2.2.1 and have a form using the xhtml theme which
performs
some simple javascript validation (required, etc...).
Works great.
Now, after the simple javascript validation executes I would like to add
some more validation to the onsubmit event.
Apart from modifying a template, I couldn't see how this could be
achieved
easily.
If you include the validation in the form onsubmit attribute, it is
prepended to the dynamically generated javascript validation function
name.
For example:
<s:form action="MyAction" namespace="/mynamespace" theme="xhtml"
validate="true" onsubmit="return myValidation()">
produces the following markup.
<form id="Myaction"
name="MyAction"
onsubmit="return myValidation(); return validateForm_MyAction();"
action="/scname/mynamespace/MyAction.html" method="post"
onreset="clearErrorMessages(this);clearErrorLabels(this);">
As is evident, this won't work for me.
I want to leverage the dynamically generated Javascript validation when
validate="true". If that validation succeeds, then I want to execute some
proprietary validation.
I also know the name of the dynamically generated javascript method so I
could call it in myValidation();
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
/robert
